We shall brand him on the nose

Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning

And made no exception (for the Will of Allah)

Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept

And in the morning it was as if plucked

And they cried out one unto another in the morning

Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit)

So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones

No needy man shall enter it to-day against you

They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose

But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error

Nay, but we are desolate

The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)

They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers

Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching

They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous

It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord

Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know

Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord

Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty

What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge

Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn

That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose

Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain

Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that

Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful

On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able
